"This is feel-good party jazz, harking back to the '20s and '30s. It's brassy, stomp your feet and dance music, and it's got the raw, uplifting vibe of a New Orleans street parade" - The SF Weekly

"Miller and his bandmates have taken their unique show-an upbeat and peppy combination of jazz covers and originals-to festivals and venues across the nation." - The Observer

A native of Los Angeles, Sammy Miller has become known for his unique maturity and relentless focus on making music that “feels good” as a drummer, singer and bandleader. Upon completing his Master’s at The Juilliard School, Sammy formed his ensemble, Sammy Miller and The Congregation. As a band they are focused on sharing the power of community through their music—joyful jazz. While independently the band members have performed/recorded with notable artist including Wynton Marsalis, O.A.R, Iron and Wine, and Lee Fields at venues including The White House, Lincoln Center, and the Hollywood Bowl, they have opted to stick together and create globally conscious music with the intention to spread joy throughout the world. Outreach education has been offered through Jazz at Lincoln Center's Jazz for Young People program where the band has performed over 100 educational concerts at public schools in New York City, Los Angeles, and Ohio. Through The Juilliard School and The Monk Institute they have presented an additional 50 educational concerts.

Our Annual Gala serves as the Chorale's most important fundraiser for scholarships. This elegant evening event, with the audience seated at tables of eight, will be held in the lovely ballroom of the Texas Tech University McKenzie Merket Center and will include a full dinner menu. Patrons will enjoy entertaining cabaret music performed by the Chorale, soloists, guest artists, and a jazz combo. Prior to the concert portion of the evening and during intermissions, the audience will peruse a very special exhibit entitled A SOUND INVESTMENT, along with raffles of donated items, that help fund our singing scholarships for students.

Ticket sales will close at Select-A-Seat, online, and at our outlet locations on Monday, February 19, 2018 at 6:00PM. VIP ticket purchasers will be given priority seating.

Tobymac is more than just your run-of-the-mill triple threat. On one hand he ranks among the most successful artists in Christian music history in terms of radio success, sales power and critical acclaim. On the other he is universally recognized as a creative force, an artistic maverick and a prophetic voice for racial reconciliation, social justice and a fierce devotion to faith and family. On the third hand, he's the most humble and approachable merchant of cool on the scene today. Yeah; that's three hands. Some things defy common logic. Obviously, when it comes time for a new Tobymac record to drop there are a lot of people paying attention. His rampant eclecticism and consistent excellence have set the bar very high, and on his third solo outing, Portable Sounds, he does not disappoint. An increased commitment to melody and soulful singing abounds, while his now trademarked rock/funk/hip-hop side hits deeper grooves and catchier hooks than ever before.

"Strikingly beautiful." - New York Times
"A gem of a show." - The Stage (London)

There was another Mozart - a forgotten genius: Nannerl, the sister of Amadeus. THE OTHER MOZART is the true and untold story of a prodigy, keyboard virtuoso and composer, who performed throughout Europe with her brother to equal acclaim, but her work and her story faded away, lost to history.

With the opulent beauty of the 18 foot dress that makes up the set, the sweet smell of perfume, and the clouds of dusting powder rising from the stage, the performance creates a multi-sensual experience that the New York Times calls, "Strikingly Beautiful," and transports the audience into a world of outsized beauty and delight -- but also of overwhelming restrictions and prejudice. There, in communion with the audience, this other Mozart at last tells her story.

"Imagine an eleven-year old girl, performing the most difficult sonatas and concertos of the greatest composers, on the harpsichord or fortepiano, with precision, with incredible lightness, with impeccable taste. It was a source of wonder to many." - Augsburger Intelligenz, May 19, 1763.

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company was founded in 1964 by two Utah women, Joan Woodbury and Shirley Ririe, who were both professors of dance at the University of Utah. Over the years, the Company has grown from its beginning as a local entity, into an internationally renowned contemporary dance company, having performed in every state in the United States, as well as throughout Europe,South Africa, Southeast Asia, the Caribbean, and the British Isles.

This opportunity led to the creation of the Company’s education program, which became the national model for dance education in the schools—a model that still stands today.

Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company is celebrating its 52nd Season (2015-2016) and boldly continues to engage an exciting future. Executive Director Jena Woodbury, Artistic Director Daniel Charon, and Education Director Ai Fujii Nelson are committed to the continuation of the Company mission: to make dance a viable part of everyone’s lives, whether it be as observers, critics, performers, or creators. Ririe-Woodbury’s performances and educational undertakings are a reflection of the Company’s philosophy that “Dance is for Everybody.” With the strength of its history, the vision of its founders, and the extraordinary ability of its current management, staff, dancers, and board, Ririe-Woodbury Dance Company continues to be a major force for innovation in contemporary dance throughout the world.

THE LUBBOCK CHORALE PRESENTS:

The Glory of Venice
Hemmle Recital Hall
Saturday, May 12, 2018 at 7:30PM

At the height of the Renaissance and birth of the Baroque periods, Venice and its spectacular St. Mark's Cathedral were known throughout the Western world for musical innovation and profound creativity. The Venetian school represented a major stylistic shift from the prevailing polyphonic writing of the middle Renaissance, and gave rise to the poly-choral tradition (cori spezzati, or "separated choirs"), wherein choirs and instruments were spatially separated throughout the room. To conclude its season, The Lubbock Chorale and consorts of brass and stringed instruments will perform a concert that honors and celebrates this rich tradition, highlighting three master composers: Giovanni Gabrieli (1554-1612), Claudio Monteverdi (1567-1643), and Heinrich Schutz (1585-1672). Concert patrons will be sumptuously surrounded by sound, as both singers and instruments perform antiphonally throughout Hemmle Recital Hall. Monteverdi's Venetian Vespers (1610) will be a featured major work.

Ticket sales will close at Select-A-Seat, online, and at our outlet locations at noon on Saturday, May 12, 2018. Tickets can be purchased after this time at the door for a $5.00 upcharge.
